Bug Description

I'm not hearing any alarm (audio sound) when there's a trigger (e.g., Timer reaches zero).

I see in the log:

No alarm sound -- utils.vala:391: Error playing sound: Invalid argument

$ gnome-clocks --version
Clocks 3.36.2

This is gnome-clocks installed on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS with snap, not apt.

$ snap list
Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes
gnome-clocks 3.36.2+git4.0aaab08 261 latest/stable canonical✓ -

After this issue, I uninstalled the snap and installed gnome-clocks package using apt. The sound played just fine. I then removed gnome-clocks and re-installed the snap, and it worked as before (no sound).

This was reported by someone else, upstream:

- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-clocks/-/issues/111
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/-/issues/995

"So apparently all is needed is to rebuild gnome-clocks using the latest vala."

I see now that this is a duplicate of bug #1878361

but since this has been fixed, but the snap has not, I'm not sure if this ticket should get markted as a duplicate and closed, or if it should remain open until the issue with the snap is addressed.

On 2020-06-09: Update Released:

"The verification of the Stable Release Update for gnome-clocks has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates."
